Structure-function relationships within vaccinia virus protein VP39, a bifunctional protein involved in modification of both mRNA ends /

both mRNA ends. At the 5' end it is an mRNA cap-specific 2' -O-methyltransferase. At the 3' end it is a processivity factor for the virus poly(A) polymerase. Either five or six surface regions of VP39 might be required for its two activities: (1) an S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) bi...
